Mystic Academy Burnt
VESPER POV I arrived home after some time. It wasn't my initial intention. I had hoped to stay a bit longer to assess the situation, but Kelani's presence made it challenging to remain there. Her presence, coupled with her captivating scent and the sensation of her soft body pressing against mine, made it difficult. It seemed as if she had emitted pheromones, seeking more attention from the boys around. Also, I sensed Miles. It had tugged at my chest and clawed, wanting to pull out of me. I knew it was all Mile's doing. It was the only one overjoyed by the thoughts of Kelani. Or maybe it was doing it on purpose to get back at me for not listening to let it go. Miles had strongly encouraged me to assert my claim on her, mark her, and make her mine. But it had taken all the willpower in me not to do so. Moreover, I wasn't repulsed by the idea of marking Kelani at that moment; despite not actively seeking a mate or ever thought of having one, I had desired her. At that instant, it b
Mystic Academy You love her
VESPER POV"That's VESPER THORNE.""He's so heavenly.""He's an alpha material."Rolling my eyes, I passed by two blonde she-wolves, both squealing and gazing at me dreamily. It had become a routine for me. Every day when I arrived at school, all the girls, except for one, would fawn over me.I'd even caught a few boys doing the same, although some pretended not to be fanboying. I understood it all came with the territory of popularity and being a captain, but I loathed it. I didn't enjoy starting my day with squealing girls eagerly waiting for me at the school entrances.If only I could change things by skipping school, but that wasn't an option. I was struggling in class, and the last thing I needed was to miss more school. Plus, I was there earlier than usual. I hoped to catch Coach Jensen in his office before he left, as he was usually busy. His responsibilities extended beyond the ice rink; he also worked as a tutor.A groan escaped me as I caught her scent—citrusy lavender that
Mystic Academy You lied to my face
VESPER POVI loved Kelani?That was the most absurd thing I've heard today. Coach Jensen insisted I had feelings for her earlier, and now, Lance accused me of loving her.The urge to toss my head back and burst into a peal of laughter filled me, but the situation itself wasn't funny. If it had been, I would have done just that."Admit it, Thorne. Are those your feelings for her?""What the heck are you talking about?!" I scowled at him.Why would he think I was ever interested in Kelani? Had she told him that? I doubted it. I hadn't seen any real interactions between him and Kelani before. Don't get me wrong; I didn't stalk her and never will, but Kelani and Lance had never spoken before.At least, not that I had seen them having a conversation."You know what I'm talking about, bro," Lance yelled back. "I never thought you would stoop that low to lie to my face. I held you in high regard.""Are you on meth?" I asked. He definitely should be on one because there was no way in hell he
Mystic Academy We'll be partners
VESPER POVTapping gently on the headmaster's door, I stepped inside upon hearing a low voice. Inhaling, I frowned, scanning the room as my nose caught a different scent. She was present.Kelani was here.My eyes narrowed at Kelani, who sat casually in front of the headmaster as if he were her father and she had always done this. She glanced briefly at me before turning away.Goodness! I didn't want to run into her again today. I hoped for a smooth day after the altercation with Lance, all because of her.Now, she was here. What did she want? Why was she always getting in my face?"Come, Thorne, have a seat," Headmaster Kendrick said, briefly glancing away from the book in front of him. The only vacant seat available was next to Kelani, and I wasn't keen on being near her. However, I had no choice unless I wanted to sit on the floor while listening to the headmaster. Reluctantly, I stepped forward, pulled out the chair, and sat down. Kelani glanced at the other side of the room, ba
Mystic Academy Secret admirer
KELANI POVSlinging my backpack over my shoulder, I breathed out, stepping out of the room. It was just another Monday. Although weekdays weren't my favorite, I felt a hint of excitement today.Seems like I woke up in a good mood today.Glancing around, I lowered my gaze and stepped on something squishy – it was an envelope—the black envelope to be precise. Frowning, I scanned the area again, trying to spot whoever had dropped it. I knew it would be almost impossible since they were keeping their identity a secret.I picked up the envelope, still addressed to me, and opened it slowly, hoping for different content this time. But it remained the same."I'm watching you," I murmured, shaking my head. The unsettling feeling persisted as I couldn't figure out who might be watching me.I wondered if it meant watching my activities outside or maybe even indoors. I could be indecent, but I doubted they cared.It felt creepy, and I doubted it was someone I knew. I started listing all the poss
Mystic Academy Stalker?
KELANI POV"Hey," a blonde greeted me, waving in my direction.I returned the gesture with a smile, recognizing her from PE. Her name was Jenny, as she preferred being called. She was one of those girls who disliked Lia but lacked the courage to confront her. I couldn't blame her; Lia could be pretty intimidating. Plus, I recently learned that Lia was a witch, explaining why Riley warned me about staying on her good side.From what I gathered, Lia had a penchant for casting spells on students, especially newcomers. Since she faced no consequences, she freely indulged in such behavior.I couldn't fathom why Lia, despite the prohibition of magic and supernatural powers, faced no real consequences for her actions."Waiting for someone?" she inquired, taking the empty seat across from me. I nodded, glancing around, and then at the nearly empty coffee cup in front of me. Doubts about Vesper showing up anytime soon crept in; he suggested we meet at the cafe, yet it seemed like he might be s
Mystic Academy Don't dare talk back at me
KELANI POV"Let me go!" I growled, but my voice was muffled by his hand.Stamping my feet on the ground to resist being pulled, I gritted my teeth. Though I knew it was a weak attempt to save myself, it was better than doing nothing and accepting the horrid fate that awaited me.He pulled me so hard that my back slammed into his solid body, and I caught a whiff of his scent."Vesper?" I mumbled, turning in his arms as his grip loosened."What the hell, Vesper? Didn't you leave for home?" My eyes narrowed at him, and the possibility of him being a stalker surged through me.He could possibly be the one, but what did he want from me?Taking a step away from him, I eyed him cautiously, waiting for a response. Simultaneously, my eyes darted around, searching for the easiest escape route if he decided to attack me.Yet, something within me did not point to him being the stalker. Call it a hunch; Vesper did not give off stalker vibes."It's foolish for you to walk at this time of night with
Mystic Academy Stay away from them
KELANI POV"Please shut the curtains," Riley groaned, rolling onto the bed. She pressed her hand to her forehead, her eyes squinting.Just by looking at her, I could tell she had a hangover. I didn't even know when she arrived yesterday; I must have been too exhausted to notice.I was also certain she must have been pretty wasted.This was my first time seeing Riley in this condition, and I felt somewhat relieved. She was normal, after all.I had assumed she wouldn't suffer from such since she was a witch, but now I knew better.Heading toward where the first aid box was kept, I grabbed some aspirin and poured a glass of water, placing it in front of her."How much did you drink last night?" I asked, wrinkling my nose at the alcohol stench."You should take a shower," I added, but she shot me a glare.Riley took the water and aspirin, downing them with a sigh. She ran a hand through her disheveled hair and let out another breath before glancing at her vibrating phone."What now?" she

Mystic Academy yet to redeem myself
KELANI POVOh goodness, what does he want now? I mused, straightening as I saw Vesper coming towards me.I had woken early to come to the ice cream shop in search of my phone before leaving for school. At least, if it were going to be here, I'd be the first person to see it since not many students were here after the event of yesterday.I was here because Riley had put a call through to Zain, and he said he hadn't seen any phone. He even said he didn't notice any with me but promised to help me search.I didn't want to let him go through all that trouble for my phone. Hence, I had come here before he would.I turned away as soon as Vesper reached me. He stayed for a while without saying a word to me, but I could feel his eyes on me."Kelani," he eventually said.I ignored him and continued looking under the seat, which I had been doing since I arrived. The phone wasn't even microscopic and could be seen easily, even from afar.Also, it would really stand out if it was here since the b
Mystic Academy Hello, he was a bully
KELANI POV"What happened, and who's she?" I asked as soon as Zain returned. Vesper had left with the girl immediately. The ambulance came, and the activity that was taking place continued as if nothing had happened.I tried not to think about who the girl was with Vesper, but I couldn't help it. As far as I was concerned, he had no relatives from here.Riley, who was a big mouth herself, hadn't mentioned that Vesper had any relatives. Riley would have said one or two things about the Vesper family. Now, it left me confused."Are you worried that he's seeing someone else?" Zain asked me.I snorted, rolling my eyes. "Why should I be?"Zain narrowed his eyes at me, "Do you love Vesper?""That's not the point. I am just worried about the girl. I haven't seen her from around here before. You know this is the start of the session; what if we are getting attacked again?" I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened to Mary.What if there was an enemy lurking around the school area, targ
Mystic Academy Call me, maybe
KELANI POVI stared at Jake for a long time before shaking my head."You don't have to give me answers right away; I can wait," He said."I can't... You know what? I need to speak with Chase, and I'll give you a response soon," I said."Great," Jake grinned. "I should leave this with you." he handed me the book and began to walk away."Um..." I trailed off, grimacing as I stared at his retreating form. "I guess you're stuck with me." I stared at the book again before stuffing it inside my bag.I walked to the fountain near the huge gate, then back to the gym's entrance.Now that I thought of it, I didn't have anything else to do besides practice, but I had blown that by going to meet Vesper.I thought it was a reasonable thing to do. Now, I believe I was stupid to have thought that.I could return to practice and ignore the scorn looks and snide remarks from Lia, but I was too prideful to do so. I had told her off and admitted I wasn't interested in the practice, so it was best to st
Mystic Academy Help me shift
KELANI POVLia blew the whistle around her neck, signaling the start of practice. We gathered in the newly renovated gymnasium. Gone were the peeling paints I remembered from the last session. Fresh coats of white paint and Mystic's signature navy blue accents now adorned the walls, revitalizing the space. The polished hardwood court shimmered, the school's logo emblazoned at center court. Once a pale blue, the bleachers now boasted a deeper hue, sectioned off with crisp white railings.Despite the renovations, the gym still felt cozy and familiar. It still felt like the first time I was here, where I was whacked in the head."Alright, Fawns! Let's get warmed up," Lia called, her voice echoing off the gym's walls."Thirty minutes," Lia announced.Although I didn't know what I would be doing the whole thirty minutes, I was sure it wasn't warm-up alone.My thoughts wandered back to what happened at the cafeteria. After the announcement was made, Vesper had excused himself. Headmaster Ke
Mystic Academy Perfect Choice
KELANI POVIt was recess, which I was grateful for. The lecture was annoyingly long, and Chase didn't even make it easy. I didn't understand why he was hellbent on trying to make us bring out our wolves.If one had a wolf they could communicate with, it was fine, right? But he had tried to make me switch to Kelly, which I had been unable to.I had gotten my ass whooped three times today, and I was glad to be in the cafeteria to mull over my inability to bring out my wolf rather than do so in the classroom where he could watch me."All I see is back, sexy, well-accentuated backside in that leather pant, and oh, how perfect his legs look," Riley groaned.I thought all that she was saying was from the book she was reading as it was on the table, but from the hushed silence in the room, I didn't think it was.I turned to where students were lined in front of the food table to see Jake. He stood in the room's center, and all eyes were on him. When I said all eyes, I meant all the eyes in t
Mystic Academy You dropped this
KELANI POV A MONTH AFTER "And it's called black magic, black magic, yeah!" I groaned, grasping the pillow and using it to cover my ears, but it was barely doing its work. Riley's voice could pierce through even the hardest stone; sometimes, I wonder how she did it. It wasn't because she was singing while I was trying my best to sleep, it was due to the fact that the song had been on repeat for about three hours now. I wondered if she had just come across Little Mix. Hence, she decided to stream all the musics they had, or maybe she was just doing it to annoy me. "You sound like a broken record, Riley. I am trying to sleep," my voice was muffled by the pillow. "Wake up, Lani! It's a new session, the start of a beautiful morning, and I can see the sun peaking out from the sky. Oh, do you know we are going to know who gets shortlisted today in the battle of the strongest? I can't wait to find out who the alpha of the academy will be!" Well, I wasn't looking forward to it. I had ha
Mystic Academy marked
KELANI POVRiley and I stayed in the position much longer before Zain cleared his throat, breaking us apart.He was standing by the door with his hands tucked inside his pocket."I'm genuinely surprised at your quick recovery," He said, nodding towards Riley. "Now, I presumed help isn't much needed, is it?"Riley shrugged, "I'm a witch, and just like you werewolves heal after an injury, we do too.""Never knew that," It was Zain's turn to shrug.He probably knew but didn't care for much details."Now you do," Riley said, then added, "When you said help, who is coming? The police or staff from the infirmary?" She asked.Now, thinking about it, I hadn't asked him who the 'Helps' exactly were.I doubted it was any of the staff from the infirmary. It was possibly the police he had called. And to be honest, there wasn't much any of them would have done in this situation."Mrs Periwinkle and Coach Jensen," Zain said, "They should be arriving anytime soon.""They responded?!" Riley question.
Mystic Academy You're alive
KELANI POVOh, My Goodness."Somebody, anybody, help me!" I cried again, for the second time, my eyes moving around the room to see no one had made a move."I did this, I did this," I chanted over again, my hands trembling as I held her closer. I hurt Riley. I had hurt the only person who cared about me.But then again, I was only trying to defend myself. I wondered if that counted.Biting my lower lip as it trembled, I sniffled and then blinked back, the tears brewing in my eyes away. But the more I blinked, the more tears that gathered."Kelani," I felt a pull on my shoulder, but I didn't let Riley go. I couldn't let her go.She was bleeding, and by the look of things, if no one came to save her soon, she was going to die."Kelani," I heard Vesper's voice again.I turned to stare at him and saw his brows were creased with worries. Shaking my head, I let out a throaty sob."I need help!" I snapped, swiping at the tears pouring down my cheeks. "Why are you people doing nothing? Riley
Mystic Academy Help
KELANI POV My wolf. Kelly. I had a wolf, just like everyone else. I had a freaking wolf. Excitement unfurled inside of me at the thought. I had thought I was wolfless. A werewolf wouldn't be one without its werewolf identity. I had assumed I was different because I could barely channel any real powers within me. Now, I felt it. With Kelly prowling inside of me, I felt her energy surging inside of me as well. "I'll help you defeat her," Kelly said. "No," I whispered, shaking my head as I approached Riley. She had slammed Lia into a box several times, almost making her go unconscious. But then Lia was as resilient as Riley. They both had strength and great stamina. They could endure a lot of things that many werewolves wouldn't be able to endure. Well, the weaker werewolves, though. Riley tossed her head back and cackled, the air cackling with energy as she did. The wind drifted into the room from nowhere. I couldn't see any windows in sight nor cracks in the wall to indicate
